Knew llow iu Man??e ? 4'uurtiug la <H8W Mwi it W. Adam died, the r^ord tells us; but uo account 1? given of Eve's dwUih. 4 The sW>ry of her life cloeea with -th? birth of 8etb. Mayb? Eve marrlod again married one of tbo*4 myaterlouM "sons of <Jod," about whom the booh tells us. I am In rlln?d to believe eh* had a right to a second chance. Her flr*t mat rimonial venture had not been a blooming nucceMi. Adam had seen fit to trace back to her every fam ily trouble. With nil her added kuowledge and experience, ?he felt ?ura she could do bolter the next time. One day, she went off In the brush, sat on a rock, and began to work her mind ? thus? "If ?t Isn't good the man to be aiuno, why is H gOOu for sat? There wa? always something want ing about Adam, 1 had an Idea It wa? his intsftlnt rib. He said It wasn't? that in taking me from his side, ho little was taken that he didn't feel It. When he had aches and pains, 1 used to asV him If his sftdtf hurt hin>, and be always an swered In Italics with a snap 'No!' 1 saw he was trying to bejittle me. One day, he growled, 'If a dozen women like you were taken from my side I'd still be a full man/ That was his conduct. Adam al ways' was mighty conceited, and was powerful stuck up in httf ways/* So, Eve went back .to her shack there on the border of theland of Havllah. Her mind was full of the new scheme. Under the shade of. a terebinth was Abel's , grave. Cain was out and gone, a wanderer on the face of the earth. Eve had now also the double office of moth er-in-law, for Seth had brought In a woman one day, saying she was his wife. Eve looked at her with big eyes. She stood in doubt about this- other woman. Most women do. When early autumn came she diked out in her deer-akin hobble skirt, and told Seth to look after the chickens, that she was going on a visit. Her mind ?had been made up. She Was going out . to look around?? to find a husband, perhaps. Some women have an aptitude for this sort business. - Eve was one of theu? She hadn't gone many miles before she came upon a man ? JuBt a mere man ?descending from an apple tree. She/ dodged behind a convenient bush, but left enough of her person unconcealed to enable the man to see her. That's an ancient trick. Seeing but a small part of her made the man anxious to see the whole. Man has always had that falling. So, the man she had found drew nigh to her. . * : v - /". ? ???:? What kind of courtship they had, we must guess at, and pass on. We are in a hurry ip get this second husband back home to the land of Havilah. , But we may rest assured that it was just like all the court ships of to-day and to-morrow^ ? two strangers who vainly imagined they knew each other entered into a compact to have things c6mmon between therd. Eve was mighty proud of the new ring on her fin ger. Adam! had never seen' fit to give her one. The wiedding cake was barely cold before Eve began to reason out the proper course for her to pursue. She said, "This new man of mine needs teaching. I caught' Him out yon? 'fter in the brush. I must begin at once to hedge him about with wis dom." And so- ?she held up the lamp of the p&st full In the face of the present. She shined his eyes, so to say. This new husband, we may say, was named Heber. One day when he came in, she brewed him a pot of coffee, fetched his corn-cob pipe, sat on his knee, ran her hand thru his hair, and began ? "Heber, much depends on getting started right. I want you to go out right now and kill all the snake about the premises. We'll never have any trouble if the sources of trouble , are put aiway."4 Then she kissed him, and .told him all about the snake she had met in Eden? the beast that ruled her, and how her first husband had , refused to shield her. "Yes," she said, "ijt was mighty mean in Adam. He de nied laying the blame on me, but I heard him say 'the woman whom thou gavest me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat it.' I never could quite forgive Adam for that thing. I don't feel that I'm bound to do it. It was his duty to clean out the snakes ? not mine. Maybe, Heber, it will be best for you to plant no fruit trees. ? If that fruit had grown on theground I should never have wanted it, snake or no snake. But it was up a tree. I had to climb for it. The fact that it was hard to get made we want it the more. I think it will be the best, Heborr to plant no fruit trees ? just plant grain and vines and things that don't require any climb ing." ~ : ' About a week after that, while Heber was putting on his shirt, Eve poked him in the ribs and * said, "Adam could never stand that. H always flinched and yelled. He had a weak place Jn his ribs, the place out of which I was taken. He said it didn't amount to much, but I wish you conld have seen him jump when I pointed my finger at his ribs I'm really glad I didn't come out of your side. I was always handicap ped with Adam. He was forever telling me about my humble origin ? said he had one rib too many any way, and I wfia made out of that. I stood it as long as I could. One day he made me real mad, and J told him If I could crawl back into, his old shaky side, I'd give him e nough strength hi hit ribs to lend some to his backbone. Adam wa? mighty wishy-washy about, the way he did. I want you to reir.embor, Heber, I didn't oome out of your side. You may call me what you please, but you can't say I'm just one or your dpare ribs/** J ? That evening Heber stood on the edge of the field thlnking-y-"'That woman knows tots.

If a horse could talk he would have many things to say when sum mer Comes. [ He would tell his driver; that he feels the heat on a very warm day quite as much as If he could read a thermometer. He would say, "Give me a little water many times a day, When the heat Is intense, but not much at a time if 1 am warm; if you want me to keep well dpn't water me for two hours after I have eat?n." He would say, "When the sun is hot and I am working let me breathe once in a while in the shade of some house of tree; If you have to leave me on the street leave mcf in the shade if possible,. Anything upon my head, between my ears to keep off the sun is bad fOr me if the air cannot circulate freely un derneath it." w He would talk of the slippery streets, and the sensations of fall ing on cruel city cobblestones- ? the pressure, of the load pushing him to the fall, the bruised knees anfl'the wrenched joints, and the'feel of the driver's lash. When he falls, he would ask that you quickly loosen his harness and help him to rise, without blows. Watch for the appearance of gall-spots and try to heal them be fore. they grow wOrse. He would tell of -the luxury of a fly net when at work and of a fly blanket when standing still in fly season, and of the booon to him of screens In the stable to keep out the insects that. bite and sting. He would plead for as cool and comfortable a stable, as possible In which to rest at night aftter a days work under the hot sun. He would suggest that living thru a warm night in a stall neither pro perly cleaned nor bedded is suffer ing for him and poor economy for the owner.. ji - ' >v . He would say that turning, .V the hose on him is altogether too risky a thing to do unless you are looking for a sick horse. Spraying the legs and feet^ when he is not too warm on a hot day he would find agree able. He would say, "Please sponge out. my eyes* and nose and / dock when I pome in tired and dusty at night, and also , sponge me with clean cool water under the collar and saddle of the harness." ? Our Dumb Animals. ' Relics, of Past Grace. Nothing is too queer to happen in some corner of New York, snys the press of that city. The other 4*7 & business women took a room at what appeared to be an ordinary, small, quiet family hotel on West Forty fourth street. The morning after her arrival she notlved a little old man sit ting in the long hall which ran by the double parlors. Another man came downstairs and the little old chap, jumped up and Joined him, and togeth er, they went Into the back parlor. Strolling down the hall, she hajnpeifr ed to glance through the open door of the back parlor. There she saw the two men on tlielr knees at a couch, fervently praying aloud. The business woman passed her hand across he* brow. "Have I got 'em?*' she mnr mured, "or have 1 got into the foolish house?" Later she discovered that the hotel had in former years been a "home'* connected with a church, and that -al though It long sipce passed under ieo? ular management some of the old-time brethren still haunt it Tied her.
